"I... just have a lame leg, not that I can't walk the way, I... can walk by myself!" she said, not wanting to become more dependent on her.

Now she needs to be more independent and stronger than before.

"I know you can walk, I just want to make it easier for you," Gu Lichen explained.

"But this kind of ease cannot be forever. No one will always carry another person, so people still have to learn to be independent, especially... like me." Zhong Keke said.

"Why not?" he retorted, "I can always hold you, Coco. If you don't want to be independent, then it doesn't matter if you are never independent. I can be your support." He said hurriedly.

I always feel that she seems to be constantly drawing gaps between them.

And her voice rang in his ears—"But Li Chen, I want independence, I don't want to rely on you anymore!"

In an instant, he felt that the distance between them seemed to be an insurmountable natural barrier!

———

Gu Lichen stood in a complicated mood at the bathroom door. In the bathroom, there was a rustling sound of water, which was cocoa bathing.

Before today, he only thought that when one day she reappeared in front of him, he would definitely be extremely happy and they would be happy.

But I didn't expect that this would happen when it came to this day.

He obviously loves her, but she doesn't believe it!

I thought the biggest difficulty between them was that he could not fall in love with her, but now I realized that the biggest difficulty was that she did not believe it.

When Zhong Keke walked out of the bathroom with a crutch, Gu Lichen stepped forward and said, "Let me turn around and let someone change the bathroom, so it will be more convenient for you."

"No, I... don't plan to live here for a long time," said Zhong Keke. "I still want to go back to my own apartment."

Gu Lichen frowned, "Don't you want to live with me?"

Zhong Keke pursed his lips, "I still want to go back to my own apartment. If that happens, I will feel more comfortable."

"Does it be uncomfortable if you are with me?" Gu Lichen asked.

She lowered her head gently and murmured in a very light voice, "We have been separated for a year, and the time we are separated is more wine than the time we are together. I think I will... be more comfortable if I am alone."

His thin lips were almost pursed into a straight line. At this moment, every word she said was like a sharp sword, slashing on his heart, bursting with pain, "Then who will take care of you?" he asked.

"I don't need anyone to take care of myself, I can take care of myself. I...I'm just lame, not because I don't have the ability to take care of myself in life!" A hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.

"I don't mean that. I'm just worried that it will be inconvenient if you live alone." He explained.

"Don't worry, I... took a taxi to Shenzhen City alone and stayed in the hotel alone for several days, but it was no problem." Zhong Keke said.

Gu Lichen was suddenly stunned, and his dark phoenix eyes looked at Zhong Keke with steady eyes, "Have you been staying in the hotel alone for several days?"

Only then did Zhong Keke realize that he was saying something. He immediately bit his lips and felt at a loss flashed across his face.

He stared at her, "So, you have actually returned to Shenzhen, but you have never wanted to see me, right?"
